Re: march madness 2008

college hoops 2k8 is amazing.. I would suggest that one. Plus you can download the rosters for every team free via their new feature '2k Share.'

One of the 2K developers is an ISU graduate, so we get some love with an accurate stadium, our alternate yellow unis that we don't wear anymore, the historic 2000 ISU cyclone team, and also a custom chant that says 'whatcha gonna do I-S-U.. which is pretty cool.

Plus the gameplay is much better.. I played the march madness demo and wasn't too impressed with the jerky animations. Plus 2k has a sweet legacy mode with the selection show and everything.. one plus for EA though.. they have erin andrews *drools* haha

Re: march madness 2008

as much as i want to get one or the other.. i kinda want to wait til next year with the new logo.. and to see if i get a ps3...

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.

ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."

Re: march madness 2008

the 2k series has been head and shoulders better than March Madness for several years now. The best part about the 2k series is the legacy mode, where you design a coach and pick from one of 20 or so small conference schools. You pick assistant coaches, recruit players, and train them during the year. You can also accumulate attribute points for accomplishing certain tasks like winning your conference, or having a player get selected in the NBA draft that you can use to improve your coach. Then, at the end of the year there is a coaching carousel where you can see which coaches retired/got fired.

To totally nerd myself out, I'll admit that I simulate seasons on the 2k series. I don't generally play the games (my hand-eye coordination isn't quite THAT good), but I'll pick a team and ride it to the top. If you ARE someone who plays the games, though, you can also export your graduating classes for use in Madden.

You talking about 2K football or basketball? Because if Madden made a basketball game I would be very afraid to play it, or listen to his commentary on it.

I'm a moron. Sorry - yes, football (although I simulate both). Wow - that's what I get for talking on the phone and posting at the same time. Can you still export the NCAA bball to go to the NBA game? For some reason I'm thinking so...
